|---|
| 25 | The information within this DVD is the result of a validation study of Geoscience Australia's tsunami modelling methodology. |
|---|
| [7620] | 26 | This has involved the development of methodologies for modelling tsunami generation, propagation and inundation. The work reported here validates |
|---|
| [7595] | 27 | the tsunami modelling methodology against observational evidence of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Results from deep water propagation modelling |
|---|
| [7620] | 28 | using the URSGA model are compared with satellite altimetry from <a href="http://topex-www.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/jason-1.html">Jason-1</a>. Time series from the URSGA model are used to drive |
|---|
| [7595] | 29 | the <a href="https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga">ANUGA</a> hydrodynamic model to simulate onshore inundation for Geraldton, Western Australia. |
|---|
| [7596] | 30 | Inundation results are compared with observational data including |
|---|
| [7620] | 31 | <a href="http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/imarine/19383.asp">tide gauge records</a> obtained from the <a href="http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/">Department of Transport</a> in Western Australia |
|---|
| [7596] | 32 | and <a href="field_observations" >field observations</a> collected by Guria Consulting. |
|---|
| [7514] | 33 | <p> |
|---|
| 34 | While the associated report provides background, model results and interpretations, the DVD contains all data, scripts and |
|---|
| [7596] | 35 | instructions for installing software necessary to reproduce and potentially augment the ANUGA inundation model underpinning the report. |
|---|
| [7620] | 36 | This includes modelled <a href="data/western_australia/geraldton_tsunami_scenario/anuga/boundaries/wa04_val">time series</a> of the 2004 tsunami along the entire Western Australian coast. |
|---|
| [7596] | 37 | This allows other users both to rerun the inundation model to test the validation and also to potentially run simulations for other Western Australian locations. |
|---|
| [7514] | 38 | <p> |
